With mixed emotion
Eric called last night. He will be home Monday. I am happy and sad all in one. I did not want him to be so far away. I want him to go to college, and now he will have to sit out a semester. This is sad to me. I know he doesn't want to talk to me about this, and I respect that. I think Eric knows that I am here for him and unless I think something is happening that will harm him, he can choose to tell me or NOT tell me anything. I respect his privacy. My job now is to facilitate what he wants to happen regarding his college choices. I am up for it.
I believe that all things happen for a reason. I have been reading a Joel Osteen book, "Your best life now" It is a phenomenal book that has changed the way I look at everything! I am NOT a holy roller. I believe in a higher being, and have opened myself up to being more cognizant of what life hands me and that things do not randomly happen....God guides. I know that Eric had to go. I have come to realize that he had to go for him, for Tim AND for me. I believe that we have all grown from this experience.
I cannot tell you how good it will be to see my amazing young man. I went for ice cream last night and saw the beaming smile of his love. His glow said it all. My friend kept commenting on J's demeanor when we were there. She said he is adorable and you could tell he was genuinely thrilled that Eric is coming home. These two have been blessed with a very deep connection. I am happy that they will be back together again.
